A difference I wasn't aware of as a kid - hence why this 7yr old was a bit terrified (and very intrigued!) when I heard on the news that a force of heavily armed 'gorillas' had attacked government troops.

Didn't the Koko sign language thing wind up being some delusion/fraud?

No, some people tried to claim she knew more sign language than she did, but it's pretty well documented.

Someone else made a really good response/rebuttal to this video (albeit a bit inflammatory at times): https://inappropriate-behavior.com/actually-koko-could-talk/

The original video now has a pinned comment acknowledging it.

I think both sides make some good points, I'm certainly not knowledgeable enough to say who is "right" here

There really needed to be a GloRilla question! Anyway, that was pretty easy since most of my educated guesses worked out, and I’m nowhere close to the top of my leaderboard even with a 9810.

9/10 almost confused Dian Fossey and Dick Fosbury.

Got caught out by a movie question again. At least sort of as it was a video game based on a movie.

And just edged you out with a 9927...that's never happened, heehee! Haven't hit the 9900+ club in months. Dian Fossey and Jane Goodall both presented at UCLA when I was in college (mid-70s). My kids played Donkey Kong incessantly. The Tamil Tigers was on some recent quiz....made me sad when I remembered that Dian Fossey was murdered...

Very nicely done Lizz, just saw that, you're top of my LB and likely to stay there since most of the other heavy hitters have already been!

I always get Fossey and Goodall mixed up, so I'm very glad the latter wasn't there as a decoy answer XD And omg I didn't know that at all, how horrible!

Fossey, Goodall and Birute Giraldas all were guided by Dr. Leakey in studying large primates. They were anthropologists but not all academically trained. I remember being enraptured with Goodall at her presentation, probably 1973 or 74, and Fossey maybe a year later. Margaret Mead was doing her work too on gender in societies, a lot on matriarchal ones.

Her murder was a bit of a mixed message. The gorillas were being inadvertently killed by Rwandan's trying to protect their meager livelihood of cattle/goats plus for meat. Fossey took a very aggressive stance, burning their houses, killing their cattle coming into the conservation area. Africa is a rough continent.

day three of theme paranoia/blindness

todays theme = precious metals

note: this one was pretty hard to find the theme in. not sure there is one tbh

1. In 2023, the top exports of Rwanda were Gold ($885M), Niobium, Tantalum, Vanadium, Zirconium Ore

2. Spain fought wars of independence in their former colonies. spain exported lots of silver from the aforementioned

3. che guevara died in bolivia. bolivia hosts the potosi silver mine

4. silverback

5. electronics such as videogames can often include precious metals

6. the methods used to obtain precious metals in the developing world are often very troubling

7. sign language was once developed independently by some students in nicaragua, which was a colony of spain (see further connection in q2)

8. bells can be of precious metals

9. They were part of the sri lankan civil war . in the russian civil war the czechoslovak legion took the gold reserves

10. mist makes it hard to see, its also hard to see in a dim gold mine
